His days are consumed by Bo Seom’s thoughts and nights by his snores coming from the other side of the wall. As Kang Dae finally acknowledges his feelings, how long would it take him to confess? And does Bo Seom feel the same?

Imagine waking up with no memory and a knife in your hand, on a terrace with a stranger. The world under the abandoned building has gone astray with monsters wandering around the street, ready to eat you!

Well, for Rayne, this is her current situation. The stranger next to her says he doesn't know her. Yet, risks his life to save her. There is a shadow that follows her, and only Rayne can see and hear. Nothing out of the ordinary for an apocalyptic world!

The warm purple-toned color throughout the webtoon makes it stand out from other horror webtoons where black is typically used. Its unique flavor makes it a perfect late-night read for those who love to get spoked! You can read Homesick here.

But not anymore when she decides to fight for her rights and her son’s as well. Will she succeed?

With gorgeous art, abs, and so much drama in every chapter, Go Away Romeo will definitely keep you coming back for more each week.

Surviving Romance 

By Lee Yona

Updates every Thursday

We’ve all read the Isekai stories where the MC gets stuck inside their favorite novel. The same thing happens with Chaerin.

Thrust into her favorite romance novel, Chaerin was ready to live the love story she had loved. But a sudden switch of genre turns her romance story into a plot of a zombie apocalypse. She then gets stuck on a loop, reliving the same horrors again and again. The only way she can make it out alive is by the help of the Unknown Extra. Who that might be? Chaerin has no idea…

Another horror webtoon for you to binge. Beautiful art disguising some very sensitive matters. Surviving Romance does have a trigger warning for self-harm in the earlier chapters.
